Cameroon is investing $167 million to upgrade four key roads, supported by the Ministry of Public Works. The projects aim to improve connectivity and transit within the nation while simultaneously enhancing the rural road network, involving an additional $85 million for further improvements and $66.3 million for dirt roads.
Cameroon will allocate $167 million for upgrading four significant roads. The Ministry of Public Works (Mintp) is financing maintenance for the road near Lékié in the Centre Region and the route connecting Mbalmayo to Sangmelima in the Centre-South Region. Further, funds will also support maintenance of the Up Hill to Amour Mezam road in the North-West and the Mora to Tchakamari road in the Far North Region. Additionally, over $85 million is designated for 10 more road maintenance projects throughout the country.
The upgrading works are intended to enhance national infrastructure, particularly in transportation, thereby promoting economic growth. More than $66 million will also improve 1,337 kilometers of dirt roads, which will improve connectivity to rural areas and mitigate travel delays caused by seasonal flooding. Overall, these initiatives signify a substantial investment in Cameroon’s road network.
